19 (20) Public Comment From:Shervin Mirhashemi <smirhashemi@legends.net> Sent:Saturday, October 3, 2020 7:15 AM To:Public Comment Subject:Agenda Item 19 Attachments:Support Letter - Legends.docx Dear Mayor Harry Sidhu and Members of the Anaheim City Council, By way of quick background, I have been involved in Los Angeles sports and entertainment for the last 20 plus years, and during that time I have gotten to know the Angels ownership and management team. More recently, I have had the distinct pleasure to work with them as well. As the CEO and President of Legends, a global experiences company and hospitality partner of the Los Angeles Angels for the past 7 years, I am writing to express our support for the Council’s decision last Tuesday to move forward with selling the Stadium property. The Stadium Development plan will provide long term economic and employment opportunities for the community where our staff live and work. We believe this is a critical step forward to keep the Angels in Anaheim through 2050, and beyond, especially as it relates to economic development and job creation within the hospitality industry. This has been difficult year for all businesses so we are happy to see City Leaders approving projects that will bring more jobs and much-needed revenues and investment to Anaheim. We look forward to continuing to work with the Angels in the City of Anaheim and ask you to vote YES on Agenda Item 19 and continue to support this important proposal. Thank you.
